Citizenship

CITIZENSHIP

When you are applying for Canadian citizenship, you must prove that you know enough of either French or English so that you can understand other people and they can understand you. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will return your citizenship application as incomplete if you do not send acceptable proof that you have adequate knowledge of English or French.

IRCC has identified the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) or Niveau de Compétence  Linguistique Canadien (NCLC) level 4 as the language assessment description that best fits the current Citizenship Regulations.
